The Story in Brief
Former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Friday said the Dadri incident has spread panic across the state and held the BJP government responsible for deteriorating law and order. Speaking in Karnal, he said brazen robberies, dacoity, extortion, murder and open firing have become routine, with miscreants acting without fear of the law.
Hooda also accused the BJP of altering the Congress government's sports policy. He cited the direct appointment of 17 medal-winning athletes, including Yogeshwar Dutt and Vijender Singh, as DSPs, and cash rewards up to Rs 5 crore, which he said helped Haryana athletes win 22 of India's 38 gold medals at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. He claimed these athletes have not received promotions under the current administration.
The Indian Opinion
Hooda's attack mixes a legitimate law and order concern with an obvious political pitch, but the spotlight on sports policy is fair game. The BJP cannot dodge questions about public safety by calling him partisan, and voters in Haryana will test both claims. Watch whether the government releases data on DSP postings and promotions for athletes, and whether crime statistics are published promptly. Until then, treat the outrage and the defence with equal suspicion. Number of police complaints filed in Dadri this year versus last will settle part of this row.
